AI agents independently created social norms without human participation
We are used to thinking that rules and norms are a purely human invention. But new research by scientists from City St George’s, University of London and IT University of Copenhagen shows the unexpected. Their research showed that large language models, similar to ChatGPT, are capable of independently forming social norms and linguistic agreements, as well as changing them under the influence of a “minority” – all without human participation.
Researchers asked themselves a question. Will groups of artificial intelligence be able to create new forms of communication, as people do? For the experiment they united from 24 to 200 AI agents that interacted with each other under special conditions. Not knowing about the existence of the entire group, with limited memory of past contacts and without human instructions.
The models were offered to choose a “name” from a limited set of symbols. For matching with a partner they received a reward, for mismatch – punishment. After hundreds of such interactions, stable linguistic norms arose in groups, analogous to human cultural patterns.
The most interesting discovery – the appearance of collective biases not explainable by the behavior of individual models. This proves that interacting artificial intelligence generates new “social” qualities that cannot be reduced to individual algorithms of participants.

For 5 years I have been working with machine learning and artificial intelligence. And this field never ceases to amaze, inspire and interest me.
Paradise for introverts: AI will talk to company employeesGoogle released a new feature and now artificial intelligence can call local companies on your behalf. To find out information about prices and service availability. You no longer need to pick up the phone yourself and talk to employees. This is exactly what an introvert's paradise looks like.
OpenAI combined ChatGPT, Deep Research and Operator in one agentOpenAI company introduced ChatGPT Agent. A powerful combination of ChatGPT, Deep Research and Operator in a unified solution. The working principle is maximally simple. You set a goal, for example, send emails, create tables, buy tickets or book hotels. ChatGPT Agent independently breaks this goal into separate tasks, navigates to needed websites, searches for information and fills forms. Before critically important actions such as payment, publication or sending, the agent necessarily requests your confirmation.
Only 1 programmer in the world could beat OpenAI's AIImagine a world where artificial intelligence competes with the best programmers on the planet. Such a confrontation took place at the prestigious AtCoder World Tour Finals tournament. This is one of the most elite programming competitions in the world, where it's extremely difficult to get in.
